The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

"What do you mean?" Although Shen Ge had rich experience with ghosts, this was his first time encountering this type of multiple ghost spaces. Naturally, he was not as familiar with it as Camille and others who had been trapped here for half a year.

Camille explained: "Every once in a while, the space here will be compressed, and the pattern of the strange space will change dramatically. At the beginning, the block where the church is located was about 20 to 30 kilometers in size, but now you can see that there is only such a small block left."

Shen Ge nodded thoughtfully, and asked Xiao Qi to record the changes and rhythm of the space compression here. He was about to let Zhang Hong hand the things to him and then quickly return to the church, but he found that the air around him was fluctuating violently, and a strong sense of erosion by strange energy came over him.

Before Shen Ge could react, the surrounding environment had undergone tremendous changes. The church behind him disappeared, replaced by a huge factory in the style of the Steam Age.

"Oh? Were we sent into another strange dimension?" Shen Ge looked around. Classmate Xiao Qi was also trying to send out bleeding spiders to investigate.

"cough."

"Cough cough cough."

At this time, the three people behind him knelt on the ground in pain and coughed violently. Shen Ge was immune to the erosion of strange energy that erupted when the space was compressed because of his physical fitness as a seventh-level strange king. Although Camille and the other two were wearing combat uniforms, not to mention that these combat uniforms had been damaged after being trapped for half a year, even if they were complete combat uniforms, they might not be able to withstand the erosion of strange energy of this intensity.

Shen Ge suddenly grabbed Camille's gas mask, and the corrupt blood tentacles pierced into the breathing valve. Then the red mist strange energy entered his body through his respiratory tract, neutralizing all the strange energy that invaded his body. Camille's pale face gradually returned to normal.

Shen Ge used the same method to use the red mist ghost energy to erode and save Zhang Hong and another ghost warrior. He sighed and said, "Now you know why I asked you to go back to the church?"

"..."

"..."

Although Camille and the other two felt aggrieved, they were more shocked. How could Shen Ge be immune to such intense evil energy erosion?

"Follow me." Shen Ge walked towards the steam age factory in the distance. Since the environment here is changeable and has great uncertainty, he can only search one place at a time.

The steam-age factory is stranger than imagined, with rusty gears gnawing at the ceiling and weird, half-melted flesh rolling on the conveyor belts.

"There seems to be a sound in here!" The ghost warrior Mika stood in front of a steam pipe. He raised his hand and knocked it. He seemed to hear a strange "gurgling" swallowing sound coming from inside.

Then, Mika was about to use the weird energy dagger to cut open the steam pipe to take a look. Before Shen Ge could stop him, his weird energy dagger had already stabbed in. The next second, a large amount of silver-white liquid poured out. It was not cooling water at all, but a strange liquid composed of amalgam.

"Stand back!" Zhang Hong's warning was a step too late. Mika's right leg was entangled in the mercury flow, and his tactical boots rusted into ash at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As soon as Zhang Hong's combat uniform touched the surface of the silver mercury, blue smoke came out and the alarm sounded a shrill alarm, but fortunately he successfully pulled Mika's shoes off his feet.

What's worse is that the strange flesh and blood on the assembly line began to swell, their chests opened wide, and their spines raised high like scorpion tails. These humanoids moved strangely with the rhythmic sound of steam pistons, and their sharp claws scratched across the iron platform and even created sparks.

"They are strange humanoid mutants!" Camille switched the energy rifle to overload mode, and azure arcs jumped at the muzzle: "Their weakness is..."

boom!
Before he could finish his words, Mika's scream was cut short by the pain on his foot. A strange humanoid figure jumped out from the condenser, and its scorpion tail pierced his temple directly.

Zhang Hong pulled the trigger like crazy, but the strange energy bullet vaporized the moment it touched the amalgam surface. Shen Ge suddenly grabbed him by the back of the collar and threw him backwards, and twelve blood-corrupted tentacles pierced into the ground at the same time.

The floor of the entire factory began to wriggle, and blood vessel-like steam pipes emerged under the rusty metal plates. Shen Ge's strange eyes penetrated through the layers of iron sheets and saw a ball of jumping silver light in the core area. That was the strange energy center of all amalgams, a ball of silver flesh fused with mercury?
"Classmate Xiaoqi!" Shen Ge just shouted, and the extended blood-rotten tentacles suddenly disintegrated into countless blood beads, condensing into a huge blood net in the steam.

When the blood net tore open the amalgam torrent, Shen Ge's body had already rushed to the end of the assembly line. The red mist armor on his right hand was covered with a thick layer of red flesh and blood, condensed into a spear, and fiercely pierced into the surging strange flesh and blood.

In an instant, all the humanoid creatures stiffened collectively, as if this ball of silver flesh and blood was the "central brain" controlling these humanoid creatures.

Although Shen Ge had seen monsters that were a fusion of mother and child bodies, he had never seen this kind of humanoid monster group that needed to be controlled by a "central brain".

At this time, Camille and Zhang Hong worked together to kill the largest humanoid monster and found a strange "chip" in its brain.

Amalgam condensed into spider-web-like patterns on the surface of the fragments, and each silver thread was wriggling strangely.

"This thing is so strange, it looks like... man-made." Camille observed the fragment and then sent it to Shen Ge, wanting this experienced boss to take a look and see if he could find some useful information.

But this was the first time Shen Ge had seen this thing. He stretched out a blood-rotten tentacle to wrap up the fragment and said, "Student Xiao Qi, analyze it."

"Okay, master." Xiaoqi replied.

At times like this, Xiao Qi usually doesn't convey information to Shen Ge through the headset, but speaks directly through the Red Mist Armor, so Camille and Zhang Hong can both hear its voice.

Soon, Xiao Qi analyzed the result: "Master, this chip is the product of the fusion of strange bones and flesh. It contains strong strange energy and can make non-human creatures complete alienation in a short time. It is a kind of 'monster-type' artificial strange cells. Currently, there are 36.71 types of matched fusion monster data, and the highest similarity is %..."

After listening to Xiao Qi's analysis, Camille couldn't help but sigh: "I've heard that Captain Shen, 'the first pair of strange detectives in the Great Celestial Empire', has the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world with the largest database. I didn't expect that he could find the information of the chip so quickly."

"Thank you for the compliment. But this cannot change the fact that you are a burden to the master. The ghost warrior just now told you with his actions what the consequences will be if you ignore the advice and act rashly while following the master. Please do not make unnecessary sacrifices on your own and cause trouble for the master. Otherwise, I will regard you as a threat to the master's safety and abandon you." Xiao Qi replied politely.

"..."

"..."

My goodness, the master is like this, and the portable AI is like this too, the only thing missing is the word "disdain" written on it... No, it's full of disdain expressed right away!

"I'm sorry, I apologize for my teammate's rash action, but he has already paid the price with his life. I don't think we should continue to pursue him after the death of a soldier..." Camille was speaking, but saw that Shen Ge didn't listen at all. While asking Xiao Qi about the chip problem, he continued to walk forward.

Camille was choked up for the next words, but she really couldn't find any words to refute Xiaoqi, because Mika's fate was indeed "his own fault."

There was no way to justify such a mindless behavior on the battlefield, and even she, the vice-captain, would be held accountable. But...

Unfortunately, there is no but.

Mika had paid the price for his rash actions with his life.

At this moment, Camille suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something engraved on the strange humanoid scorpion tail, so he bandaged his arm that was burned by the amalgam, and used the tactical dagger to pry open the chest of the strange humanoid: "These ghost things have numbers engraved on their spines, LC-017 to LC-083."

As she spoke, she flipped over half of the scorpion's tail and scraped off the weird flesh and blood on it, revealing rusty metal inside. This was actually a "monster" made of a fusion of flesh and blood and metal, and it was not weird at all.

On the rusty metal surface, the inscription "Northern Australia Heavy Industries 1987" can be vaguely seen.

"'Northern Australia Heavy Industries 1987'? What does this mean, manufactured in 1987?" Camille frowned in confusion, but at that time in 1987, it seemed that no strangeness had been discovered in the world?
Shen Ge stopped when he heard Camille's words, turned around and walked to the corpse to take a look. At this time, Xiao Qi had already found the relevant information through Camille's words and the words engraved on the scorpion's tail.

"Master, there used to be a heavy industrial area in northern Australia, and it is also within the scope of the blockade area of ​​this strange disaster. Preliminary conclusion is that 1987 does not refer to the birth time of these humanoid monsters, but the manufacturing time of these metal machines."

"In other words, this steam-age-style factory we are currently in should have some relationship with that heavy industrial zone. But because of the invasion of weird energy here, the mechanical products here were fused by the new fusion monsters and turned into this metal scorpion-like humanoid weirdo."

"A metal humanoid monster? A fusion of monster and metal?" Camille and Zhang Hong raised their heads suddenly when they heard this. Obviously, they didn't know that a new type of monster who could fuse metal had appeared in the outside world.

Shen Ge said, "During the half month you were trapped in the blockade, a 'new type of weirdo' that can fuse cars has appeared in Rong City, and in Australia, a large number of weirdos that can fuse plants or even transform plants have appeared."

"what!"

Camille and Zhang Hong were stunned when they heard the news. Although more than half a year had passed for them, even if it was more than half a year, the appearance of two incredible new monsters undoubtedly brought the end of the world a big step closer!

In particular, the fact that plants can also transform into strange things has even overturned the research of many strange scholars, making it more difficult for humans to understand strange things.

You have to know that plants can become weird, which is much more dangerous than animals and insects. After all, people may be able to survive without animals and insects, but without plants...

To take it to the extreme, if most of the plants in the world became weird, what they released would no longer be oxygen but weird energy!

What will be waiting for mankind!
Camille and Zhang Hong thought that this news was explosive enough, but Shen Ge then told them that the base of the Australian branch of the International Anti-Ghost Organization was attacked and destroyed by a giant flesh and blood tree, which completely stunned the two.

After being “out on the field” for more than half a year, you still don’t have a home?

At this point, Camille and Zhang Hong can only adjust their mindsets and accept reality. After all, the most important thing now is to find a way to solve this multiple strange spaces.

Camille thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of Australia North Heavy Industries, but this industrial zone was closed 20 years ago..."

The next second, her voice stopped abruptly.

Because she thought of a terrible "inside information". The world's first strange incident seemed to have occurred more than 20 years ago?

But this matter is very secretive and has been kept secret until now.

It seems that it is related to a mysterious organization called the Haiya Institute.

Considering the time when Northern Australia Heavy Industries was closed, it is very likely that at that time Northern Australia Heavy Industries turned to researching the strange secret base?

Or is it really as Xiaoqi said, this is just a "coincidence", and the strange disaster in the blockade area spread to Australia North Heavy Industries, turning the machinery here into strange humanoid shapes?
Shen Ge checked the 3D map of the steam factory made by Xiao Qi using the blood spider. Just as he was about to move forward, Xiao Qi suddenly reminded him, "Master, multiple space-time folding coordinates have been detected. It seems that the previous space compression has occurred here again!"

Camille exclaimed, "Impossible. Such frequent space compression has never happened before. Could it be a mistake?"

Shen Ge said casually: "In the past, when you arrived at a new place, you immediately killed the gatekeeper boss, right?"

"..."

It breaks my heart, old man.

Zhang Hong looked at Shen Ge with a bitter face, and wanted to say that we were all anti-evil agents of the great Celestial Empire, so couldn't we give him some face?

No wonder all the northern detectives say that Shen Ge is difficult to get along with. Just this one sentence can end the conversation ten times. How can he get along with others?
At this moment, the holographic map projected by Xiao Qi suddenly exploded with snowflakes, which meant that the blood spiders in some areas had lost contact. They were probably shattered by the compression of space, or they had detected the danger of being eroded and swallowed by strange energy and exploded.

Because of its "endless" characteristic, the blood spiders have become a "delicacy" in the eyes of monsters, and Xiaoqi has developed a good habit of throwing them wherever he goes. In order to prevent the blood spiders from being regarded as food by other monsters, a core setting is set for them to self-destruct when encountering danger, so as to avoid accidentally raising a big one.

However, since the intensity of the strange energy caused by space compression was too high, a single blood spider could not cause any impact, and most of the blood spiders chose to self-destruct.

The factory floor collapsed without any warning, and Shen Ge threw out twelve blood-rotten tentacles the moment he fell, but was surprised to find that these tentacles that could penetrate steel plates were being wrapped and dissolved by some kind of transparent gelatin.

"Yo?"

"New stuff?"

Since Shen Ge used the corrupt blood tentacles to tie up Camille and Zhang Hong and took them away from the dangerous place, the two also noticed the changes in the corrupt blood tentacles.

"It's the strange space erosion mucus!" Camille shouted. (End of this chapter)
